(NEWSER) – Funeral home workers preparing to embalm a 78-year-old in Mississippi this week were startled when the man's body bag ... started moving. It turns out Walter Williams, um, wasn't as dead as he was supposed to be and was kicking to be unzipped, WAPT reports. Williams was pronounced dead at his home Wednesday night, and "I stood there and watched them put him in a body bag and zipped it up," Williams' nephew says. Just hours later, however, "my cousin called me and said, 'Not yet,' and I said, 'What you mean not yet?' He said, 'Daddy still here.'"
